‘Sup, y’all!? It’s Hawwmp Day! And I don’t know if I’m staying – going – sitting – waiting – packing – leaving – or on terminal hold! So…I’ll just keep getting up and going to work (or working at the hotel) and making cards. Might should buy more food. Might be a bad idea. I have no clue. Stay tuned for the continuing saga of “When will Mary go home!” 🙂

I made a fun little card today to share with you. I made a stack of Wood Textures Wood Crates. With some Wood Words goodies quite obviously on their way to the farmer’s market. Take a look-see:

…but I did a bit of a riff on the sketch – making an optically tall and skinny on a regular sized card. Here we go!

I started with a Crumb Cake card base (of normal proportions) and I stamped the Tree Rings background image on the front in Crumb Cake ink.

Next up, I matted a piece of Very Vanilla on a Cajun Craze mat – tall and skinny – and used Liquid Glue to adhere it to the card front.

I cut single pieces of the Wood Crates die from three different pieces of the Wood Textures DSP Stack, and trimmed all but the side and end tabs from each piece. I adhered them to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the end tabs, making sure to angle each successive crate to make a stack! In the next picture, you can see the Dimensionals and how they’re adhering the crate to the card.

Using the Wood Words stamp set, I stamped Night of Navy stars, Cajun Craze hearts and Crushed Curry chickens on Very Vanilla card stock. I stamped 5 of each image and cut them all with their matching die in the Wood Crates Framelits. Then I used Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals to pile them into their respective crates.

The sentiment, also from Wood Words, is stamped in Crushed Curry on a strip of Very Vanilla. I snipped a banner end into one end, edged it with my Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker, and then, along with a couple of pieces of Night of Navy 1/2″ Gingham Ribbon, adhered it to the bottom crate with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a double-strand bow with Linen Thread and added it to the top crate. Then I put a Night of Navy star Enamel Shape in the middle of the bow, and one on the sentiment banner and the card front was done.

On the inside, I re-created the optical tall and skinny card effect. First I stamped the inside of the card base with the Tree Rings image, again in Crumb Cake. For the liner, I stamped the Wood Words star in Night of Navy across the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel.

I Fast Fuse’d it to a Cajun Craze mat and into the card base and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got some more Night of Navy Wood Word stars on the front…

…and a little more Wood Textures DSP Stack on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I think it’s fun that the Wood Crates Framelits can be adapted to work on a 2-D card front as well as making awesome 3-D projects! And Wood Words and the Wood Textures DSP stack just go so darned perfectly with the whole shootin’ match, don’t you think? Hope you like!

Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope this finds you well and enjoying your week!

When I had lunch with my friend the other day, I took her a little sumpin’ sumpin’ that I made right quick with the Wood Crates Framelits and matching Wood Words stamp set. And a fun pop of Lemon Zest! Take a look-see:

I cut out two crate pieces with the Wood Crates Framelits from some Thick Whisper White card stock and stamped the floral image from Wood Words in Lemon Lime Twist on both of them. I added a little more color with a Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Write Marker. Continue reading →

You still an opportunity to get your name into the Jul-Dec Online Host Club!

And – OBTW – the new Annual Catalog goes LIVE at 3pm Mountain Time on Thursday!!

Wheew!! That’s a lotta stuff to pack into a few short days, huh?? There’s a lot of detail and information down below, so be sure to check it all out and take advantage of some great deals happening this week!

Now – on to the card for today. I promised that I’d share the details and how-to’s on the Memorial Day thank you card that I gave you a glimpse of on yesterday’s post. It uses the One Great Meaning stamp set, as well as the Wood Words stamp set and coordinating Wood Textures DSP Stack (available Thursday!). Take a reminder look-see:

I started with a piece of dark wood paper from the Wood Textures DSP Stack and matted it on Cajun Craze card stock. The center layer, with the sentiment, is another piece of the Wood Textures paper, also matted on Cajun Craze.

To make my sentiment, I first inked the little star cluster image from the Wood Words stamp set in Versamark and stamped it in the corner of the panel. Then I sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.

I stamped the very appropriate sentiment from One Big Meaning in Cajun Craze in the middle of the panel, then SNAILd it to its Cajun Craze mat and onto the card front.

I wrapped a piece of the new 1/4″ Copper Trim around the card front, securing it in the back with scotch tape.

The stars are from an image in the Wood Words stamp set. I stamped it once in Versamark and heat embossed it in Copper. The other two, I stamped in Dapper Denim and Cajun Craze – then sprinkled them with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heated them up. This is a cool way to emboss in any color – just be sure to have a moist ink pad, have your embossing powder ready to go and move a little quickly – and the powder will stick just fine.

I fussy cut the stars and ran my Stylus on the back of each arm of all three stars to make them more dimensional. Then I adhered each star with a Stampin’ Dimensional. To finish it all off, I adhered a bow from the 1/4″ Copper Trim with a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I repeated the Copper embossing of the Wood Words cluster of stars in the top corner of a Whisper White panel. I also added a Dapper Denim and Cajun Craze larger star.

I SNAILd the panel to a Cajun Craze mat and into my Thick Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

...and some more of the dark wood paper from the Wood Textures DSP Stack on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love the Americana vintage feel of this patriotic card, don’t you? One Big Meaning is a wonderful stamp set filled with sentiments to express your gratitude. And the new Wood Words stamp set goes perfectly with the Wood Textures DSP! One Big Meaning is available now, and the Wood Words goodies are both going to be available on Thursday afternoon!! Hope you like and already have these on your wish list!

Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! If you’ve been following along, you’ll know this is color week! I think you’ll see some pretty projects today from the ladies-who-hop, so be sure to spend a little time checking them out!

Here’s our color palette…

I decided to use the pretty floral image in the new Wood Words stamp set (available 1 June) and some more of the Wood Textures DSP Stack (also 1 June) paper to make a quick and easy note card for you – take a look-see:

This one took me less than hour to put together and that included 15 minutes sitting at my crafting desk, staring blankly into space wondering what in the world to make! It’s been a bit of a week here at my house, folks – and my creatin’ neurons weren’t firing too well! Speaking of which – Wayne did great in his surgery yesterday and got home speedy quick! Thank you all so very much for the many well wishes and prayers we received!! I’m grateful to each and every one of you!

So, I started with a dark wood paper design from the wondrous Wood Textures DSP Stack, and matted it on Peekaboo Peach card stock.

For the second layer, I chose a white-washed wood design and heat embossed the floral image from the Wood Words stamp set in Copper. Using my Peekaboo Peach and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Markers, I colored the flowers and leaves.

The sentiment, from Wood Words, I stamped in Chocolate Chip ink, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to position it where I wanted it. Then I matted the panel on Peekaboo Peach and SNAILd it to the card front.

I wrapped a piece of the new 1/4″ Copper Trim around the whole panel, securing it in the back with scotch tape. Then I tied a bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot – and that was it for the card front!On the inside of the card, I again heat embossed the Wood Words floral image – this time in White – on a Whisper White panel (it’s hard to see in the picture – sorry! 😔). Then I colored the flowers and leaves with my markers.

I SNAILd the panel to a Peekaboo Peach mat and into my Pear Pizzazz card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

…and some more of the white-washed Wood Textures DSP paper on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Easy and beautiful – I love how the rustic wood paper works so beautifully with the copper in the embossing and the new 1/4″ Copper Trim. Hope you like – and are adding this to your wish list if it wasn’t there already! 😉
